I don't think so. To use JDBC, you need a driver. And so far the only
driver that comes with the JRE is the JDBC-ODBC bridge. In fact, JREs from
vendors other than Sun may not even include that one.

I don't think that is what was meant. The only thing that might contain
such drivers are the standardized RowSet implementations, but these
ssem to be unavailable right now and will be included in SDK 1.5 at
the earliest.
